The Hartmann Sorbalgon® T dressings are made of calcium alginate, a natural polysaccharide, which transforms into a gel-like texture upon contact with wound exudate. This process creates a moist wound environment, which is ideal for promoting natural tissue regeneration and faster recovery.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between Sorbalgon T and other dressings?
The main difference is the special rope shape, which makes them ideal for deep wounds or fistulas with a small diameter. This allows for effective penetration and absorption of exudate even in the most difficult-to-reach areas.
How does calcium alginate work for healing?
Calcium alginate is a material that, when it comes into contact with wound exudate, turns into a gel. This gel-like texture creates a moist environment, which is essential for the natural healing process, as it protects the wound and aids in tissue regeneration.
Can they be used on bleeding wounds?
Yes, Sorbalgon T dressings are suitable for bleeding wounds. The alginate fibers have the ability to absorb large amounts of blood, while the calcium alginate helps in the clotting process, contributing to the cessation of bleeding.
